Angela Wright is a young black magazine writer whose life has settled nicely into place. Her fiancé, Keith, is a professor of African-American history, and Angela's mother, an icon of black empowerment, can't wait for them to set the date. Then a chance meeting leaves Angela consumed with desire for an intriguing stranger-- Angela's best friend Mae, a full-figured Southern girl, is always there to ground her, whether they're joking about 'good hair' or gossiping about their rival Tatiana Braithwaite, who they refer to as a 'milk chocolate Barbie.' As Angela explores her new passion, everything she's come to believe is called into question. And the answers she finds will surprise everyone--especially herself.
